Nakhchivan ranks first in the country in terms of the amount of sunlight per square meter. Nakhchivan also ranks first both in installed capacity and in the production of green energy, said Jahid Mikayilov, Head of the Energy Efficiency Department of the Ministry of Energy, during an event held in Nakhchivan related to the “Covenant of Mayors – Eastern Partnership” initiative, APA-Economics reports.

According to him, alongside the Karabakh and East Zangezur economic regions, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic has also been declared a green energy zone.

“Energy efficiency is also a type of green energy. In fact, the greenest energy is the energy that is saved. Energy efficiency means economic benefits, environmental protection, and passing on a healthier environment to future generations,” Jahid Mikayilov noted.
